Chapter 722: Minor Trends Can Be Changed, but the Major Trends Cannot Be Changed

The million-dollar bounty on Wu Shihao caused chaos on the streets of Hong Kong for quite some time.

Only in Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei, because of the strict control of Su Mingzhe and Lei Luo, and Wu Shihao's concern for the two, there was no trouble in these two places.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month passed.

In everyone's eyes, ICE seemed to have disappeared.

When the thousands of Wu Shihao's men saw that the search was fruitless, they began to "loosen up in public but tighten up in private". There were fewer people following them, but more and more people were climbing over the walls in the middle of the night.

At this time, the inspector of Wan Chai Police Station was about to retire.

After screening from above, the final target was set on 'Lei Luo', Su Mingzhe, and two other detectives.

Su Mingzhe was too disdainful to fight for the position of Wan Chai Detective.

Firstly, he had already won the hearts of the people and established a solid foundation at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. Now that he was going to the Wan Chai Police Station, he would definitely have to start all over again.

Su Mingzhe disliked things being too troublesome.

Secondly, the Wan Chai Police Station is under the jurisdiction of the regional headquarters, which is equivalent to having a lot of father-in-law and mother-in-law looking after you.

How could Su Mingzhe bear such humiliation?

Su Mingzhe was not in a hurry and did not bother to fight for it, but Sir Zhou wanted his son-in-law to fight for it.

After work that day, Su Mingzhe returned home and saw the two sisters Zhou Xueer and Zhou Maner chatting with Lord Zhou.

"Dad, Sister Man."

Su Mingzhe greeted her first, then sat on the sofa and asked Zhou Xueer:

"Dad and sister are here, why didn't they call me?"

"Dad said not to disturb you while you're working."

Whether Zhou Xueer was at her parents' home or with Su Mingzhe, she was like a docile little rabbit. When questioned by a man, she would explain timidly.

When Zhou Maner saw this, she frowned slightly, and was obviously dissatisfied with her sister for being so "afraid" of her brother-in-law. This was too embarrassing for her.

Fortunately, Sir Zhou spoke at this time:

"Ah Zhe, the inspector in Wan Chai is about to retire, do you want to be transferred over?"

Zhou Xueer and Zhou Maner quickly turned their eyes to Su Mingzhe.

It is obvious that both women also hope that Su Mingzhe will be transferred to Wan Chai Police Station as a detective.

Putting aside other things, Su Mingzhe and Zhou Xueer's home is in Wan Chai. If their workplace is also in Wan Chai, they don't have to catch the ferry to and from get off work.

"Forget it. Wan Chai is under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. There are too many children of the rich and powerful. When there are too many people, there will be a lot of trouble."

Su Mingzhe tactfully declined Sir Zhou's kindness.

It’s only 61 years now, and the foreigners still have another years to go before they leave. It’s better for me to stay away from them.

Otherwise, if my temper got out, I would have asked countless people to accompany Hunter.

“There are a lot of gossips, but there are also a lot of opportunities for promotion.”

Sir Zhou was not satisfied with Su Mingzhe's attitude and started to teach him a lesson:

"Hong Kong's elites gather here. You can only hang out with those gangs in Yau Ma Tei..."

Sir Zhou is worthy of being a knight. He stands in a different position and his foresight is evident from the moment he opens his mouth.

If Su Mingzhe was an ambitious young man with motivation and drive, he would definitely be persuaded by Sir Zhou.

However, who is Su Mingzhe? When it comes to foresight, he is far better than Sir Zhou.

Therefore, facing Lord Zhou's persuasion, Su Mingzhe was not moved at all. Instead, he smiled and said:

"Dad, how many years do you think Hong Kong's current situation can last?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Sir Zhou didn't quite understand what Su Mingzhe wanted to say.

"When you say the current situation, do you mean politics, economy, or something else?"

"There's no need to talk about politics. Jiu Qi will definitely go back."

Su Mingzhe was too lazy to play dumb and directly gave his answer:
"As for the economy, the current Hong Kong economy is distorted, and some other things are also distorted. So, I think that if we blindly pursue power and status now, we will be in a dilemma when the situation changes."

Su Mingzhe’s words are actually not difficult to understand.

At least Sir Zhou understood it, and then he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Lord Zhou finally sighed and said, "Azhe, I can't wait until then. Since you have such a long-term vision and plan, it's up to you."

Sir Zhou is almost eighty years old this year. In "Chasing the Dragon", he passed away ten years later when the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established.

Su Mingzhe didn't know how to evaluate his father-in-law, so he could only thank him for respecting his point of view:
"Dad, I believe that our countrymen will get better and better. Sooner or later, we will rise again and stand at the top of the world."

Seeing that he could not convince Su Mingzhe, Sir Zhou asked his daughter Zhou Maner to support him and leave.

He has relied on foreigners to make his fortune all his life. If the time Su Mingzhe said really came, he was afraid that the Zhou family would be liquidated.

Su Mingzhe could also guess his concerns, but he had no way of telling what would happen in the future, so he could only watch his old father-in-law leave dejectedly.

Sir Zhou is easy to convince.

On the other side, 'Lei Luo' was bombarded by Boss Bai and Bai Min.

Boss Bai spoke first:

"Ah Luo, this is a rare opportunity. I heard that the Governor of Hong Kong is planning to establish a Chief Chinese Inspector. If you can be transferred to Wan Chai, your chances of succeeding the Chief Chinese Inspector will increase by at least 20 to 30 percent."

"Hubby, my dad is right. Didn't you always say that you wanted to change the current situation in Hong Kong? This is a great opportunity!"

Bai Min tried her best to persuade Lei Luo to fight for the position. She looked at the man with affectionate eyes, hoping that he would agree quickly.

Lei Luo thought about it and wanted to use Su Mingzhe's words to reject the Bai family father and daughter, but unexpectedly, the Bai family boss waved his hand domineeringly: "Let's talk about the future later. Now we have to take care of the present. In thirty years, you will have retired long ago."

As a gangster, Boss Bai is not the reserved and prudent Sir Zhou.

He is generous and open-minded by nature. In his opinion, one should enjoy life today and worry about tomorrow.

A man who is fussy is not capable of doing great things.

Faced with Boss Bai's courage, Lei Luo could no longer say no.

Afterwards, Boss Bai personally used his connections and asked for favors, and spent more than one million yuan to finally transfer "Lei Luo" from Tsim Sha Tsui to Wan Chai.

The higher-ups even agreed that when the position of Chief Chinese Detective is appointed, Lei Luo would be the first choice.

'Lei Luo' doesn't want to think about these things for the time being.

Time has passed and it is Mid-Autumn Festival in August.

The wedding day of 'Lei Luo' and Bai Min has arrived.

Unlike the wedding of Su Mingzhe and Zhou Xueer, Lei Luo had a wide circle of friends, and Boss Bai was a well-connected person, so the banquet had more than 200 tables.

After the wedding, Lei Luo took Bai Min out for their honeymoon.

Things like training ICE were left to Su Mingzhe, the real person.

Fortunately, the two are one, and there is no question of who is putting a hat on whom.

Time is like water, years are like a shuttle.

Historically, the position of Chief Chinese Detective appeared in 60.

However, in the world of film and television, the position of Chief Chinese Detective did not appear until 62.

Six chief Chinese detectives appeared at once.

Su Mingzhe and Lei Luo both became chief Chinese detectives.

In the long river of history, the general trend remains unchanged, but the minor trend can be changed.

Wu Shihao, the gang leader, did not have such a friendly relationship with Lei Luo and was suppressed by Su Mingzhe in his territory. In the end, his Yiqun could only be regarded as one of the four major gangs in Hong Kong, and was far from being as arrogant and domineering as the one who monopolized half of the country in history.

Everything has its ups and downs.

Wu Shihao did not have that much power and lost several brothers, but he saved his leg and his wife, which made up for the regrets in the movie.

In the blink of an eye, it was 1965.

Su Mingzhe and Lei Luo both did their jobs honestly and maintained local order.

However, the other four chief Chinese detectives, just like in history, formulated various black and white rules and led everyone to collect bribes.

The four major families, the four major societies, and the four chief Chinese detectives came into being.

It's the weekend.

The Hung Hom Tunnel was completed seven years ahead of schedule.

As the first person in charge of the tunnel construction project, Su Mingzhe was the first to drive from the south end to the north end with his wife Zhou Xueer and son Su Yuheng after the opening ceremony.

The distance that used to take at least half an hour by ferry now only takes three minutes by car to cross from one end to the other.

The speed is so fast that countless Hong Kong people are excited.

As the initiator and major investor of the tunnel construction, Su Mingzhe naturally became a household name.

After leaving the tunnel, Su Mingzhe took photos with some celebrities who came to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Forget about eating and stuff.

He drove around Kowloon with his wife and children, and finally stopped in front of a big hotel in Yau Ma Tei.

"Son, this is where Daddy eats when he's at work during the day."

Su Mingzhe came to the entrance of the hotel holding his two-year-old son.

Zhou Xueer took the diaper and followed him into the restaurant.

After the family of three sat down, Zhou Xueer spoke:

"Honey, when did Kowloon become so chaotic?"

Zhou Xueer became pregnant in 62 and gave birth to a son in early 63.

In order to take care of her son, Zhou Xueer hasn't gone out shopping for more than three years.

Today, Su Mingzhe took her for a tour in Kowloon and encountered several robberies and fights.

"It's all the fault of those Chinese Chief Detectives!"

Su Mingzhe also frowned when he talked about this.

He and 'Lei Luo' can control the area under their jurisdiction and prevent the police station under their control from becoming a den of thieves.

But Hong Kong is very big, and the other dozen or so police stations have all been corrupted from top to bottom.

When the person who catches the thief is in cahoots with the thief, can there still be a pure land in this world?

In the 1950s and 1960s in Hong Kong, not only the police station was corrupted, but other departments were also corrupted to varying degrees.

At first, Su Mingzhe was also very angry, so he sent ICE out and asked her to form a new killer organization to specifically kill those notorious guys.

As a result, things turned out to be just as the saying goes, kill one and countless others stand up.

When more than 90% of public officials have begun to be corrupted, if Su Mingzhe does not become the most powerful person, all his methods are doomed to be in vain.

"If I had known, I would have used the avatar on the Governor!"
